Introduction 2

Hello all,

I'll be keeping a blog here partly as a place to share my opinions about all things game-related, as well as to allow prospective clients to find out more information about who I am and what I do.

My primary role is contract game design.  I come up with ideas for games and put them into pitch documents (if they are being pitched to a publisher) or concept/design documents (if they are being self-funded).  I also do on-site game design work during project development.  In addition, I take on various other roles as needed, providing clients with writing and proofreading services, strategic advice, concept and milestone evaluation, and much more.

I work primarily with independent developers, but occasionally a publisher hires me for evaluation or firefighting duty on one of their titles.

I've worked in a game design role for 7 years.  I have lead designer experience on a sports game, plus credits on many other titles across a wide variety of genres and console platforms.  The bulk of my work nowadays is on XBLA and PSN games, although I also do a decent amount of work on the Wii and DS.

My areas of expertise are:

Since almost all my design work is confidential, you'll have to get a sense of my design tastes, tendencies, and biases by reading my Gamasutra articles and, hopefully, future blog posts:
